Chapter 40: The Stunning Annie

  After saying this, Annie turned around and rushed out of the restaurant without looking back...

  She summoned all her strength and ran out of the cafeteria, then quickly rushed to her dormitory. After running to her dormitory in one breath, she slammed the door shut and collapsed onto the bed, bursting into loud sobs!!

  She felt that she had never been so wronged in her life, because of Lin Feng. She had changed from a genius to an object of ridicule for everyone, and this was not enough. That despicable Lin Feng actually refused to fulfill his promise with a hypocritical face...

  Annie felt utterly humiliated by Lin Feng!!

  Covering her face with the quilt, Annie cried for a long time before she finally felt slightly better. She wiped away her tears, only to find that her face felt sticky...

  When she picked up the mirror and put it in front of herself, she found that her originally extremely ugly mask had been kneaded into a ball by tears at some point, and at this moment, the face reflected in the mirror had a beauty that could topple cities and states...

  Although her face still looks a bit immature, even an idiot can tell that she is absolutely a beautiful girl!

  Her pale face, usually as white as sheep fat, was slightly red and swollen from crying. Her bright eyes hid a faint sense of confusion, and even her long eyelashes still had a teardrop hanging from them. Under her high nose bridge, her thin lips were slightly parted, and she stared at herself in the mirror, muttering: "Mother, where are you?... Why do I have to wear an ugly mask before I'm 20 just to see people?"

  At this moment, in the dining hall.

  The bundle that was knocked to the ground by Annie scattered a large number of gold coins all over the floor. At this time, Lin Feng and Alfa were busy picking up the gold coins on the floor, and the entire restaurant had fallen silent.

  Originally, all the students who were eating had intentionally or unintentionally placed their attention on Lin Feng. As for what happened earlier, they had also seen it with their own eyes. Although they couldn't figure out what exactly happened between the two, those scattered gold coins were indeed seen by everyone!

  Good heavens... how many gold coins is that?! And among those gold coins, a black card-like thingy faintly appeared!

  Many people know it, that is Magicrystal Card!

  Although there were many young aristocrats in Paul's College, there were even more commoners. The magic crystal card might not be familiar to them, but the gold coins brought a huge visual impact!

  Compared to the students' surprise, Lin Feng's heart was already filled with annoyance. He had only been considering not offending the principal, but forgot about Annie's feelings. When he saw Annie angrily throwing away her bag, Lin Feng realized that his actions had deeply hurt Annie's self-esteem...

  He intended to hurry up and find Annie to explain things clearly after collecting the gold coins on the ground, otherwise, the misunderstanding between the two would not only fail to be resolved, but would become even deeper!

  But just as Lin Feng was thinking about how to deal with this matter, he suddenly heard a cold voice behind him: "Mr. Lin Feng? May I have a word with you?"

  Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's eyebrows furrowed, and just as he was about to turn around and refuse, he felt the person behind him had already leaned in close to his ear, quietly adding: "I am the Imperial Capital Marquis' Guard Captain, you can call me 'Mark'."

  Marquis's bodyguard?

  What is he doing with himself?

  Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then his heart moved...

  Marquis... has finally found out about himself through Regi's matter...

  At this moment, Lin Feng's heart began to churn, the ten years of white eyes he and his mother Nina had suffered in their hometown seemed to reappear before his eyes!

  Hmph, has it finally arrived...

  This thing came a bit suddenly, if Lin Feng was just an ordinary teenager, he would have lost control of his emotions by now!

  But in Lin Feng's heart, although his mind was also surging non-stop, it didn't show on his face.

  He stood up quietly and turned around to scrutinize the captain of the guard named Mark with courtesy.

  Only to see the captain of the guard wearing a simple outfit today, without any armor, with a warm and gentle smile on his round face, but his eyes were very cold, even though he was smiling on his face, there was no sign of melting in his eyes. Such an expression made him look somewhat strange.

  But Lin Feng felt that he seemed to have no hostility...

  Seeing the expression on Mark's face, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He had taught the Marquis' son Regi a lesson once and even killed one of his fourth-level warriors. Such actions were undoubtedly slapping the Marquis in the face twice. Although not many people knew about these two incidents, would the Marquis still welcome him with a smile?

  Could it be that his own father was a masochist? He had been slapped twice and still smiled foolishly.

  Of course, this foolish idea only flashed in Lin Feng's mind and disappeared without a trace. Although he was puzzled why Mark would be so friendly to him, he also understood that the Marquis was definitely not the kind of person who would be slapped twice and still smile.

  But in the next moment, Lin Feng thought of another possibility!

  That's why the Marquis had already figured out his own identity and knew he was his illegitimate son. Only in this case can the kindness on Mark's face be fully explained - joke, the Marquis' two children "fought" without anything, and one of them was a genius that had never been discovered before, how could the Marquis not be happy?

  But in just these two days, the marquis had already investigated his own identity...

  Lin Feng couldn't help but feel deeply perplexed in his heart, these thoughts also only flashed through the bottom of his heart for an instant, this sudden event immediately made him temporarily forget about Annie.

  Lin Feng looked at Mark's face with a kind expression and politely said: "Of course."

  He really wants to see what kind of tricks this marquis is playing!

  Mark heard Lin Feng agree and his smiling expression didn't change in the slightest. He stretched out an arm to point at a quiet corner, then lifted his foot and walked over.

  Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and followed Mark as he walked away.

  At this time, others also saw the matter and couldn't help but discuss it. Among them, a young noble patted another noble on the shoulder: "Who is this person? Why did Lin Feng follow him?"

  "I don't know either, maybe some big noble wants to recruit Lin Feng. For small nobles like us, we can't even enter Lin Feng's eyes." Another shook his head and replied casually, but his gaze had already drifted towards the direction where Lin Feng had gone far away.

  Bill apparently also saw it, and he approached Alpha with a puzzled face, asking in a low voice: "Alpha, do you know who that person is? Does Lin Feng know him?"

  "That person..." Alfa seemed somewhat uncertain: "He seems to be... one of the two great attendants of the Marquis, with the strength of a great warrior. Lin Feng shouldn't know him, right?"

  "Marquis's Guard Captain?"

  Bill muttered something under his breath, but a fierce glint flashed in his eyes!
